Chandrayaan-3 recorded 250 shocks on the moon

Newsdesk:

India's Chandrayaan-3 mission has detected over 250 seismic signals in the Moon's south polar region, including at least 50 distinct ones that are not linked to the rover's movement or the operation of other instruments, suggesting the potential existence of Moonquakes. This marks the first time seismic data has been collected from the Moon’s southern polar region, and the first such data recorded anywhere on the lunar surface since the Apollo era. The Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) aboard the Vikram lander conducted this experiment at the landing site of 69.37° South and 32.32° East, operating for 190 hours between August 24 and September 4, 2023.
